Students Gain Hands On Experience<\/p>\n

The Physical Therapy Assistant program at the University of Cincinnati, Clermont gained valuable, hands on experience today at Premiere Physical Therapy and Abilities in Motion.<\/p>\n

Carolyn Shisler, who leads the program at UC, Clermont said that this experience gives future physical therapist assistants the opportunity to hear stories and ask questions to recent and veteran amputees. \u201cThey are real people and students\u00a0are able to hear their story and empathize with their life situation. Our students\u00a0get to see the person and not the diagnosis,\u201d said Shisler.<\/p>\n

Caitlin Rausch is a student at UC, Claremont and she echoed those feelings. \u201cIt\u2019s so different than being in the classroom. There, you don\u2019t get to see patients and hear their backgrounds\u201d.<\/p>\n

Students heard an hour long presentation from experts and then broke into smaller groups to see demonstrations and interact with patients. The patients participating in the program had below knee, above knee and bilateral leg amputations. Each had different experiences that informed students and each saw this as an opportunity to invest in the future.<\/p>\n

Andy Beardslee is the PT director at Premiere Physical Therapy and he understands the value of these types of experiences. \u201cMany times, new students are apprehensive when meeting with amputees. They may have a fear of saying the wrong thing and this experience gives them a change to get comfortable with real people.\u201d<\/p>\n

Students would be hard pressed to find a better environment for this type of learning as Premier Physical Therapy is the regions leader in working with amputee patients. Their partnership with Abilities In Motion allows a patient to meet with their prosthetist\u00a0and physical therapist all in same visit.<\/p>\n

Shisler summed up the experience this way, \u201cPTAs work in many different areas of physical therapy, Amputees are\u00a0one facet of the field. It\u2019s important that they are able to work with people and help them reach their full potential.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
